DE696864C - Steep view card index with cards staggered on the side on spacers in pockets - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a steep-angle file, their cards in pockets staggered on the side and against shifting by spacers are secured. To get the largest possible overview with such visual files To get the cards, in contrast to earlier versions, the cards have been placed in very wide boxes and to be staggered over the entire width of the box using spacers. Still is the number of cards that can be accommodated in a relay is still, proportionately small, especially if you have it on a at an angle 'cut off corner of the card. The viewing edge of the card runs then usually at an angle of 45 ° to the bottom of the box.

If you stagger these cards so that the

ao inclined visible edge z. B. 1 cm wide, so requires this is a staggering of the cards 1.5 cm apart. The number of the cards that can be accommodated in a series of the card index would be:

Box width minus card width by 1.5 plus i. _

The subject of this invention is a steep-angle file with cards staggered on the side on spacers in pockets, in which a significantly larger number of cards are visible to the viewer at the same time. This is achieved in that the card pockets, in which the cards are staggered next to one another on spacers, are arranged one behind the other so that the foot of the respective second and ^; The third pocket is larger by the width of the visible edge than the foot of the pocket in front of it.

According to the invention, both cards with vertical and cards with sloping visible edges in · very large. Stagger the number visibly at the same time. While with the previous card versions mainly a series of viewing lines

which appears in a series, the embodiment according to the invention staggered several rows of viewing edges by suitable means so that one above the other or one above the other and laterally offset from one another the viewing edges of several rows of cards are visible at the same time. The invention is based on the idea that in a viewing card file with a staffed egg-shaped card file, not only the width of the box, but also the height of the space is available and can be used for overview purposes The map pockets can also be of different sizes, so that the height of the following map pocket to the preceding map pocket not only increases by the width of the visible edge, but also with spacers that rise diagonally to the bottom of the box, the pockets are correspondingly wider In this case, the cards in the pockets show inclined edges, even if they are right-angled. Card pockets with inclined spacers: for example, they can always start at the left edge of the box and then extend beyond the map pocket in front by the width of the edge. In the drawings are Exemplary embodiments shown: Fig. Ι shows a steep view card index in which the map pockets are of different sizes and in which the series of maps of the pocket behind it is larger according to the width of the pocket. Fig. 2 shows a steep-angle file with map pockets of the same width, one behind the other, the foot of which is larger by the width of the visible edge than that of the pocket in front of it. Fig. 3 shows a cross section through three map pockets one behind the other. A card pocket consists of a rear wall α and a pocket b attached to it, in which spacers cl, c2, cs etc. are attached at equal distances from one another for holding and aligning the cards. Visual files with visible edges cut at an angle for the purpose of better legibility ■; <> of the card names are known several times. The cards can be stored in horizontally positioned card pockets and; stagger on appropriately running spacers. However, if you want the viewing edge on the card to appear at an angle to the viewer in the case of essentially rectangular cards for better reading of the card designation, the card pocket and thus the spacers are arranged at an angle and rising at a certain angle to the bottom of the box. This design is illustrated in Fig. 1. ■ The visible protruding edge strips d1, dr, since the cards placed in the pocket are then at an angle to the viewer. The card names can be read easily. In order to allow the greatest possible number of visas to appear at the same time, the cards can now be arranged in such a way that they are staggered one behind the other in pockets of the same width. The height of a map pocket or Its foot is then to be enlarged by the width of the visible edge compared to the map pocket in front of it, so that each following series of cards is lifted by the width of the visible edge of the series of maps in front, as illustrated in Fig. 3. The last version will be chosen in particular if the space available for the card index box, for example on the desk, is very limited. Above all, the invention offers the advantage of being able to arrange a very large number of index cards in such a way that the viewing edge can be seen by the viewer at the same time, making use of the abundant space available, which is usually measured in height. There is no need to carry out any special manipulations or use special mechanical devices in order to get an excellent overview of a conceivably large number of cards. PATENT ANSL1UuCIlIi: 1. Steep view files with on spacers cards staggered in pockets at the side, characterized in that one behind the other arranged map pockets the foot of the second and third respectively The bag is larger by the width of the visible edge than the foot of the bag in front of it. 2. Steep view card index according to claim 1, characterized in that with map pockets with spacers increasing at an angle to the floor, the height and width of the uo set one behind the other Map pockets and the length of the visible card tiers increases accordingly. 1 sheet of drawings
